I have made a tarball with Wine CVS patched with the DirectDraw/DirectX 7 over WineD3D patches so it is easier to test/use. Feel free to link to the page. http://www.thehandofagony.com/alex/wine-wd3dp/
The patches fixes the redrawing problems for Warlords Battlecry, and the animations in Stronghold: Crusader are now smooth instead of jerky.
